We are living in perilous times. The Coronavirus has been surging throughout the world, especially within the United States, and many fellow Americans have been dealing with hardship. The pandemic has taken a huge toll on the well-being of several Americans, including which activities Americans should participate in. So what activities should fellow Coloradoans and Americans be participating in?

Activities in This Pandemic During Winter:

During this winter, many people are questioning whether it is acceptable to do several winter activities. This is due to the fact that as of right now others have to social distance, wear a mask, and take proper safety precautions when it comes to the coronavirus. This means that some activities are completely out of the chart for more working families due to the fact that contracting the virus is extremely bad.

While we are living in this pandemic, there are still examples of activities that people can do this winter can vary state by state, but more specifically in Colorado, there can be outdoor or indoor activities. 

Activities can include:

• Get festive for the season: Decorate christmas lights and trees outside or inside your home, allowing for everyone to look at unique decorations. 
  • This can apply to making a gingerbread house.
• Setting up with family, if there are quarantine solutions to ensure that any member has not contracted the virus.
• Read a novel, or enlighten on current topics during the break, or master something new.
• Based on correct protocol, going in the outdoors and exercising would be a great healthy activity.
• Other winter activities like volunteering for the community are important especially for this time.
• Even MORE.

Times may seem tough, but there are still several things that many can do. While it may feel like the world is falling apart, it is important that we care for ourselves, and continue to move forward together.
